Urging hearing on bill to restore freedom

I am writing today to raise awareness of the National Defense Authorization Act's authorization of indefinite detention of any person on U.S. soil without charge or trial.

PANDA, a national, non-partisan, grassroots organization, has worked to seek solutions to the egregious violation of our constitutional rights at the state and local levels of government.

PANDA lobbied many of our state legislators seeking a sponsor for a bill for the 77th legislative session. Nevada State Sen. Don Gustavson has introduced SB378, the Nevada Liberty Preservation Act. This bill, if passed, would help restore our right to trial.

SB378 is currently stuck in the Nevada Senate Judiciary Committee, and we have received no assurances from Committee Chairman Sen. Tick Segerblom that SB378 will get a hearing.

We are asking for your help to get this bill up for discussion by contacting State Sen. Segerblom (775-684-1422) and urge him to bring SB378 up in the Nevada Senate Judiciary Committee.

The Constitution, perhaps the most important founding document, is only a piece of paper and cannot defend itself. Only we the people can stand up for our unalienable rights when government seeks to ignore them.
